Nodding to her, Shun braced himself for the oncoming pain. Once she started to dab onto the wound, he let out a hiss between his teeth, tensing up as the disinfectant did its work. It wasn't until she was done dabbing that he finally relaxed. Though, the needle work wasn't going to be very comfortable either.
"Yeah, I got into a little scuffle while I was out. And ended up falling down the stairs on the way back," he said in a matter of fact type of tone. Still all truths there. Though, him falling down the stairs was not the fault of his assailants.
Speaking of which, it looked as if he had a couple of bruises here and there too. There was one larger one across his chest, where he had hit the rail of the stairs.

Deep worry was written across her features, though it was quickly changed to concentration as Mitsu began to stitch. "We should probably tell the teachers you were attacked." She still didn't understand the situation but she worried he had been jumped. What if it had been a hunter?
"Y..you fell down the stairs too?" Mitsu paused looking up noting the other injuries. She had been so focused on the blood and the cuts she hadn't seen them at first. The large bruise across his chest looked really bad. "Y..you didn't break anything did you?....And don't lie. If you've broken something we need to get you to the Nurse." As much as she had learned treating a break would be more difficult.

Shun shook his head at her suggestion.
"No. It's best if attention isn't called to it. It's not like being attacked by hunters," he explained. Things were slowly heading towards information he wasn't so certain he wanted to say. And yet, he didn't know how he could divert it right now, "And no. I didn't break anything as far as I know. After I hit the railing I was able to kinda minimize the rest of the damage. Couldn't land on my feet or anything like that though."
If he hadn't, he probably would have snapped his neck or something else on his way down.

She paused then at his answer, before tying off the stitches she had made and leaning toward to chew through the thread. Her teeth were sharp enough she only had to bite down and tug the string in her hand lightly for it to break. With the stitches in place Mitsu reached for the bandages and tape. "I..I don't really understand." Mitsu finally said in the silence. "Y..you were attacked..but you want to cover it up?"
This was a little distressing and her eyes mirrored her confusion on the matter. She was so lost and unsure about the whole situation. There was this sinking feeling that she was in the dark about something that she really shouldn't know about. Should she continue to question or leave well enough alone?

Twitching slightly from the needle pokes, Shun just tried to keep as still as possible so she could do her work. Though she looked distressed, he kept a rather stoney expression at the moment. He wasn't really sure what to say exactly here.
"It.. would cause more trouble for it to be out in the open. For myself and in general," he said quietly. He didn't really know what it was he delivered as he didn't ask those sorts of questions, but chances were that it wasn't entirely legal.

So it was a secret then. That sad look lingered in her eyes but Mitsu didn't push it any further. Instead she nodded. "A-alright then." She didn't want it to be more trouble for him after all. The lycan wasn't sure what had happened but apparently she wasn't supposed to know, she would just have to trust him.
"Just...please be more careful?" She asked as she placed some gauze over the area and taped it into place. That done she started her clean up, putting everything back away in the first aid kit neatly. It was a slow process mostly because her mind was so distracted.

Shun caught that look of sadness. Glancing away, he shifted uncomfortably. It didn't quite feel right to keep things from her. There really shouldn't be any secrets between them. But.. he didn't really know if she should know about this.
"..Let's just say... my family does things that usually isn't all too nice," he said quietly, "Usually things that shouldn't be known by most others. You... understand.. right?'
As he asked, he looked up again.
"And I'll try. It's.. not easy."

Her head tilted up, her eyes looking into his. She really didn't understand but... "I trust you. I'm just...worried about you." What kind of things was he mixed up in? Would she ever find out or would there always be this air of secrecy?
Standing up from the floor Mitsu leaned toward Shun to place a gentle kiss on the bruise on his chest before moving higher to place one on his lips. "You better take care of yourself." She said in an almost scolding tone. "If something were to happen to you...." Mitsu fell silent then unable to complete her thought. What would she do? She had already lost her parents and her brother, and she couldn't bare the thought of losing Shun too. "Well...I don't know what I would do..." She finished softly her eyes training back on the floor. Mitsu didn't want to think about it, already she had a knot growing in her throat and her chest was tightening rather uncomfortably.

Even with what she said, Shun felt a sort of nagging feeling in the back of his head. The feeling increased as she continued to speak. Shifting uncomfortably, he gently took her into his arms, pulling her closer.
"Look.. I'm not that easy to get rid of.. even if you wanted it. Trust me on that, ok? I've been through a fair share and I've always bounced right back up."
Well. Sometimes it took a little longer for him to recover, but he still recovered nonetheless.
"Nothing like that will happen to me. I already promised you this.. remember?" he said softly.

As he pulled her in close she couldn't help but nuzzle into his hold, shifting the first aid kit out of the way so she could be closer without an obstacle. Her chest still felt tight even as he tried to comfort her and tell her everything would be fine.
"Y...yes, I remember," Mitsu nodded though she didn't speak what was truly on her mind. She never thought her brother would leave her, that he would disappear without a trace and yet he wasn't around anymore. Things never worked out how one intended but she truly hoped beyond all hope that Shun was telling the truth. That nothing bad would happen to him and he would always be there.

Closing his eyes, Shun lightly rested his head against hers. He didn't know what else to say, other than to try and continue to comfort her.
"You should really give me a little more credit. Whether or not people like it.. I'm here to stay," he added. It would be impossible for him to remain unharmed. But he was confident that he would not be killed off for good. To him, the only way that was really possible was if the hunters really got to him.
If that were the case, he hoped he'd have slain a good number before falling.
But for her sake, he was going to do what he could to always come back. To keep that promise.

"I hope so," Mitsu tried to smile but the gesture was weak and rather short lived. "I just wish...I could understand what was going on." Being in the dark left her with a rather foreboding feeling. She didn't know if this incident was a one time thing or if Shun was in danger. Did she need to look out for him? Should she start to follow him?...okay that was a bit creepy but she would honestly try if she thought it would help. Mitsu didn't want anything bad to happen to him.
With a small sigh she pressed another kiss to his cheek before she pulled back, shifting the first aid kit back into her hold. "I'll just put this away real fast." She said before retreating to the bathroom to do so. When she came back she was empty handed and she looked to the reaper wondering what else could be done. "It would probably be best if you rested." She said softly moving back toward the bed hoping to coax Shun into laying down.

Shun's eyes remained closed as he felt a slight pang in his chest. This was probably really for her own good, but that didn't stop this weird feeling about keeping her in the dark.
"If you want to know a little more... you may be able to find some information on Kaitou Kuroda online somewhere," he uttered. Most likely whatever was on the web, whether it was some old article on some old arrest or whatever, it was safe for her know. At the same time, she'd have a little more insight.
He didn't know if this was really good, but he had to give something.
"Right.." he sighed before shifting further into the bed and gingerly laying upon his back. The injury was still uncomfortable, but with time he'd heal up without a problem.

"Kaitou..Kuroda? Your dad?" Mitsu paused a bit before she pulled the blankets back on the bed while Shun laid down. Once he was situated she pulled the covers up and rested them gently over top of him. Smoothing out top part of the cover Mitsu took a seat on the edge of the bed her fingers lightly running through the reaper's hair.
"It's not really the secrets," Mitsu finally said. "I don't mind you keeping things from me, everyone has things they want to keep to themselves. It's just...." Her eyes darted back to the area of his injury her hand resting on his chest as gently as possible. "I said I would watch your back....but I can't do that when I don't know what's coming." It just seemed to couple with her failure at being able to protect her friends. She really felt like she was making no progress on this front despite her efforts.
Leaning forward Mitsu wrapped her arms around Shun's head cradling him to her chest. She probably didn't think about how awkward this position was in a semi serious conversation, she just wanted to hold him close. "I just don't want anything to happen to you."

"Yes... him," he nodded. While she ran her fingers through his hair, he closed his eyes for a bit, feeling relatively comfortable like this. When she spoke up again, Shun reopened his eyes, then lightly rested his hand over hers.
"Right.. the Family.. just has some enemies you could say. I understand you wanting to watch my back but I'm trying to do the same for you. Some of these things are really... not so nice, and I'd hate for you to get caught up in them," he whispered.
Closing his eyes again, he leaned into her chest.
"Besides.. you've done a pretty good job of watching my back so far."
